MARION Jones
A once decorated Olympian, Marion Jones became the first woman to win five medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympic games, but was later stripped of her titles when she confessed in 2007 to using banned substances.
Barry Bonds
Barry Bonds is a very strange case. He was caught using steroids but for whatever reason he still denies it.
Roger Clemons
Roger Clemons tops the list because he was once revered as one of the greatest pitchers in Major League Baseball history until he was accused by the Mitchell Report, Claiming he took anabolic steroids during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
A-Rod
Regarded as one of the best baseball players of all time in recent history, Alex shocked many when he admitted in 2009 that he had tested positive in 2003 for steroids.
Ben Johnson
Only three days after winning the 1988 Olympic gold for the 100m in just 9.79 seconds, Ben Johnson tested positive for stanozolol and stripped of his gold metal as well as his previous 1987 World Championship title.
Manny Rameriz
Manny was suspended for 50 games in 2009 for violating major League baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. He said his doctor “unknowingly” prescribed him a banned substance which was later identified as human chorionic gonadotropin, a women’s fertility drug typically used by male steroid users to restart their body’s natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle.
Shawne Merriman
Shawne was named the 2005 Defensive Rookie Of The Year, but was suspended in 2006 for testing positive for an anabolic steroid and received a four game suspension.
Jason Giambi
Jason was a huge power hitter during the late 1990s and early 2000s but was named in the BALCO scandal in 2003 for using Clomid, commonly used by male athletes to restore the body’s natural production of testosterone.
Floyd Landis
After winning the 2006Tour de France, disgraced U.S cyclist, Floyd Landis, had a urine test come back positive for performance enhancement and was stripped of his title.
Andy Pettitte
In 2007, Andy shockingly publicly admitted to using human growth hormone in 2002 and 2004 in order to recover from injuries. He still denies using steroids.
